Summary

An intelligent, intellectually rigorous examination of why the Christian faith still makes sense in an age of scepticism.

As the pastor of an inner-city church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced doubts sceptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons for faith.

In The Reason for God, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason. Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

One of my favourite books

I initially read this book soon after becoming a Christian and have just listened to the audio version. It was helpful then and is still one of my favourite books. I recommend to non-christians too as the book is really written for you and answers many of the difficult questions we all have with God and religion.

Helping people find God

I love the way he spends a number of chapters warming up and coming where the listeners might find themselves before leading them gently to salvation in Christ. A book to be given to non-Christian friends and relatives.

reason for god

very interesting book on God. author mentions many ideas on God that I never really thought of it that way. I like the fact Bible scriptures were used and I can relate to it in the Bible. I enjoyed listening to the audible and read the book.

Brilliant book for any who want to dig a little deeper into what being a Christian really means

Tim Keller does a superb job of breaking down the most common fundamental objections to Christianity, and respectfully walking us through alternative views on them- without being pushy or heavy handed.

An excellent read, both for someone simply wanting to learn more about the faith, and for existing Christian’s looking to build on their foundations.
